Not just for couples
We are all in relationship. With partners, parents, children, friends, colleagues, and with ourselves. Sometimes those relationships become a source of pain, confusion, or exhaustion, and it can be hard to know where to begin.
Relationship counselling is a space to slow things down and look at what is actually happening, not just what you think should be happening.
You do not need to be in a couple to come. Many people come alone, wanting to understand patterns that keep repeating, to make sense of a loss or separation, or simply to find a different way of being with the people in their lives.
What brings people to relationship counselling
People come with all kinds of relational difficulties, including:
- a sense of disconnection from a partner, family member, or friend
- repeated arguments or conflicts that never seem to resolve
- loneliness or social isolation, even when surrounded by people
- social anxiety that makes relationships feel exhausting or unsafe
- difficulty trusting others, or trusting yourself within relationships
- navigating a separation, bereavement, or significant life change
- wanting to understand your own relational patterns before they affect future connections
You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong. Often, the work begins simply with noticing what feels stuck.
How I work
My approach is integrative and relational. I draw on psychodynamic and person-centred therapy, alongside an understanding of how our nervous system responses and early attachment experiences shape the way we connect with others.
This means we pay attention not just to what you think, but to what you feel, what your body holds, and what happens in the space between you and the people around you.
I follow your lead. There is no set agenda, no homework, and no pressure to arrive at a particular conclusion. The work happens at a pace that feels manageable and right for you.
Individuals and couples
I work with individuals exploring relational difficulties, and with couples looking to reconnect, navigate conflict, or find a way through a difficult period.
For couples, sessions are 90 minutes and take place in person or online.
